Philip ran out of time while taking a multiple-choice test and plans to guess the last 4 questions. Each question has 5 possible

choices, one of which is correct. Let X=X=X, equal the number of answers Philip correctly guesses in the last 444 questions. Assume that the results of his guesses are independent.
What is the probability that he answers exactly 1 question correctly in the last 4 questions?

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.4096 = 40.96% probability that he answers exactly 1 question correctly in the last 4 questions.

<h3>What is the binomial distribution formula?</h3>

The formula is:

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

The parameters are:

  • x is the number of successes.
  • n is the number of trials.
  • p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

Considering that there are 4 questions, and each has 5 choices, the parameters are given as follows:

n = 4, p = 1/5 = 0.2.

The probability that he answers exactly 1 question correctly in the last 4 questions is P(X = 1), hence:

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 1) = C_{4,1}.(0.2)^{1}.(0.8)^{3} = 0.4096

0.4096 = 40.96% probability that he answers exactly 1 question correctly in the last 4 questions.

Aidan has 20 ft of fence with which to build a rectangular dog run. What is the maximum area he can enclose?
butalik [34]
Assuming this Fence enclosment will be in the shape of a rectangle we will use the equation used to find the area of a rectangle, b×h=a

Using this formula we then must pick out factors used to create, in which the perimeter will add up to 20

·5,5,5,5 (25)
·8,2,8,2 (16)
·6,4,6,4 (24)


using this we can learn<span> that the maximum area that can be exclosed by this is 25, because the 2 perimiter lengths that define this rectangle would be 5 and 5.

</span>b(5)×h(5)=25(a)

therefore, your answer is 25 Units
